In This Episode

Our host Stuart Broadley sits down with Matthew Taylor, Managing Director at Green Giraffe Advisory, to explore the shifting landscape of renewable energy finance across the APAC region. Matt reflects on his journey from engineering to green finance, the evolution of Green Giraffe’s advisory and investment model, and how bankability is being reshaped by supply chain constraints, rising capital costs, and emerging technologies.

Together, they unpack how Covid transformed renewable project financing, why data centres have become so prominent in global capital markets, and what it will take for wind, solar, hydro, and battery storage projects to regain momentum. Matt also offers insights into the rise of Asian supply chains, the reset underway in offshore wind tenders, and the conditions needed for renewable projects to remain attractive, scalable, and investable in a competitive global market.

What Is the EIC?

The Energy Industries Council (EIC) is one of the world’s largest energy trade associations. As a not-for-profit organisation, it supports more than 950 member companies involved in the global energy value chain. EIC operatesinternationally, with offices in London, Kuala Lumpur, Rio de Janeiro, Houston, Dubai, and soon, Berlin.

It is energy agnostic, supporting all parts of the energy sector. From mature renewable onshore and offshore sectors like wind, solar and hydropower; to grid infrastructure and large nuclear; to hydrocarbon sectors like oil & gas, LNG, FPSO, decommissioning, upstream, midstream and downstream; to emerging low-carbon sectors like hydrogen, carbon capture, CCUS, energy storage, BESS, biofuels, SAF (sustainable aviation fuels), and geothermal.

EIC provides a wide range of services, including access to global market intelligence, CAPEX and OPEX project data, consulting support, events, business development opportunities, and advocacy. It also facilitates connections with key decision-makers and policymakers in the energy sector worldwide.
